Color Spotlight: Create A Moody Vibe With Midnight Blue
Updated on February 4, 2025

Reminiscent of the night sky, midnight is a blue-black with violet undertones. This otherworldly, beguiling shade has a grandiose feel, but with the flexibility of a neutral — it works with vibrant brights just as well as muted earth tones. Create opulence and drama in a room with midnight-painted walls or a geometric wallpaper. For just a hit, add dimension with a matte pendant, ribbed vase, accent chair or throw pillow. Midnight looks great with saddle brown and cream.

Designer Isabelle Dahlin envelops this Los Angeles hallway in midnight to elegant effect. The timeless deep blue sets off a graphic wallpapered ceiling; a marble table with sculptural blooms, modern art and purple rug add to the intrigue.
